Item xx of the provisional agenda
Retrofit Emission Control Devices (REC)
Draft new Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of Retrofit Emission Control Devices (REC) for heavy duty vehicles, agricultural and forestry tractors and non-road mobile machinery equipped with Compression Ignition engines.
OE:
Following editorial changes were done in the whole document (wording taken from R49 Ser. 06):
• “approval” replaced by “type-approval”
• “Approval Agency” was thoroughly used as term
• “must/is to/have to” was replaced by “shall”
• “e.g.” was replaced by “for example” + “according to” by “in accordance with”
Further changes (also to the content) are highlighted as mark-up and (hopefully all!) also marked with yellow background, several justifications please s. comments.
Besides all necessary checks in the document the following editorial changes/checks are also seen to be necessary:
• after every paragraph number a “.” is necessary (e.g. 5.3.6.1.)
• check whether “be within the limit values” or “not exceed the limit values” is the better wording, we would prefer “not exceed”
• “emission limits” or “limit values”
• use same wording of “Regulation No. 49”
• decide whether “NOx/PM reduction system” should be replaced by “NOx/PM reduction REC” in whole document

For Class IV REC the reduction levels for both NOX and PM shown in Table 8.5 3 of this Regulation must shall be met.
8.3.4. The reduction efficiency shall be calculated from the measured emissions of the relevant pollutant downstream of the REC system (EREC) and the engine system emissions measured before fitment of the REC (EBase) for that pollutant, both measured in accordance with the procedures defined in this Regulation:

b) in cases where the REC makes use of a fuel-borne catalyst, consider the impact upon the production of secondary emissions of
i) the absence of that catalyst and
ii) its presence at up to twice the recommended or intended concentration.
8.6.4.2 The assessment shall name each of the species of secondary emissions considered.
8.6.4.3 The assessment may be based upon sound engineering analysis and judgement, upon the results of tests or simulations, upon the results of analysis or tests of similar systems or technologies, or upon any combination of these elements.
8.6.4.4 For the purposes of this Regulation secondary emissions produced at concentrations not significantly higher than the concentrations produced by original equipment engine systems shall be considered not to be hazardous to health.
8.6.5. The applicant may be required to perform tests for secondary emissions as a prerequisite for approval in cases where the assessment of the performance of the REC with respect to secondary emissions produces a reasonable expectation that the requirements of paragraph 8.6.3 will not be met, but not otherwise.

1. The REC manufacturer mustshall provide written information and installation instructions for use by retrofitters, and operation and maintenance instructions for use by owners and operators. These instructions mustshall
a) address the safety hazards identified in the course of the assessment undertaken in accordance with paragraph 18.3 so that, to the greatest extent possible, fitting of the REC in accordance with the instructions will eliminate those hazards and will
i) maintain the level of safety provided by the vehicle or machine when it was first placed on the market,
ii) maintain the vehicle or machine in a state of conformity with all legal health and safety requirements,
b) explicitly list and describe any identified safety hazards that will not be fully eliminated by following the fitting instructions and that will have to be addressed by the application of appropriate skills and good engineering judgement on the part of the retrofitter.
c) clearly address each of the points in paragraphs 3 and 4 of this annex.
2. Preparation and demonstration requirements
2.1. The instructions and guidelines mustshall be written in the language of the country in which the REC is sold or in which the REC is expected to be used, and mustshall be in clear language appropriate to the intended readership.
2.2. The REC manufacturer mustshall be able to demonstrate to the type-aApproval aAuthority where each of the relevant points in this annex is addressed, but may address these points in any way that meets the requirement for clarity. There is no requirement for the wording or layout of this annex to be reproduced.
2.3. Technical or legal language should not be used in documents intended for readers, such as end users, who are unlikely to be familiar with it. Where the use of such language is considered essential in such documents, it should be accompanied by a clear explanation of its intent.
2.3. The REC manufacturer is encouraged to consider, in the interests of clarity, the use of local idioms and usages where a language is used in more than one country or region, and the use of industry-specific terms where a REC is intended for use on vehicles or machines specific to that industry.
3. Instructions for the retrofitter
3.1. The instructions for the retrofitter should include,
a) specific instructions related to any specific vehicle or machine application for which the REC is intended,
b) general instructions and guidelines, when appropriate, which will permit the REC to be properly fitted to any vehicle or machine in the range for which it is approved,
c) a clear indication of the range of applications for which the REC is approved, and of the range of vehicle or machine applications for which it may be safely used if that is different,
d) an indication of the level of skill and education required in order to perform the fitting operation,
e) a level of detail at least sufficient to permit an appropriately skilled and educated person to perform the work.
3.2. The instructions shall state that retrofitting with a REC mustshall be performed in accordance with the installation instructions provided by the REC manufacturer, and that any additional instructions provided by the vehicle or machine manufacturer, public authorities, or other competent parties mustshall also be taken into consideration.
3.3. The instructions shall state that the vehicle or machine to be retrofitted mustshall be in a properly maintained condition, and that defects that could prevent achievement of the emission reduction level for which the REC is approved, or could adversely affect its endurance are to be rectified as necessary before the retrofitting.
3.4. The instructions shall state that all necessary care mustshall be taken in order to ensure that the safety in use of the vehicle or machine is not impaired by the fitting of the REC, and that it remains conformant with local laws and regulations. The instructions shall, in particular,
a) draw attention to any additional safety hazards to operators or bystanders, such as high surface temperatures or electrical voltages, that are associated with the REC, and propose measures for reducing the risks associated with them.
b) warn against the installation of the REC, or any systems associated with it, in such a way as to interfere with the field of vision of the operator of a vehicle or machine, or with the visibility of any gauges or indicators, or with access to any controls.
c) warn that the extent of the liability of the person or company fitting the REC for any subsequent accident or failure will depend upon local laws and customs, and may extend beyond liability for failures of or directly attributable to the REC.
3.5. The instructions shall draw attention to the fact that any modification made to an engine enclosure or access panel may increase the noise emitted by the vehicle or machine, that increases in noise may be forbidden by local laws, and that increases in noise may have implications for the health and safety of operators and bystanders.
4. Instructions for the owner and operator
4.1. The instructions for the owner and operator should include both specific instructions related to any vehicle or machine application for which the REC is intended and, when appropriate, general instructions related to its use with any vehicle or machine in the range for which it is approved.
4.2. The instructions shall indicate any requirements or limitations on the use of the vehicle or machine that are necessary in order to ensure correct functioning of the REC.
4.3. The instructions shall specify whether any reagents or additives need to be refilled by the vehicle or machine operator between normal maintenance intervals, and to indicate a likely rate of reagent consumption.
4.4. The instructions shall specify the type and quality of any consumable reagents or additives used.
4.5. The instructions shall remind the owner and operator of the vehicle or machine that, where the fitting of the REC is a condition for its operation in a particular country or area, or where fitting of the REC entitles the vehicle or machine owner to incentives or privileges, the failure to maintain the REC in proper working order (including the failure to ensure a proper supply of any reagent or additive), may constitute a breach of contract or be a criminal offence.
